Abstract: Examined are psychological concerns involved in erotic domination &
sadomasochistic patterns, using Pauline Reage's The Story of O (d'Estree, S. [Tr], New
York: Grove Press, 1965) in conjunction with Hegelian precepts. Three issues
pertaining to the differentiation conflict of early childhood are addressed: (1)
differentiation patterns developed in early mother-child relationships that tend to
appear in later forms of domination (ie, erotic domination); (2) the development of
gender-specific behavior modes & their influence on later role behavior; & (3) the
relationship between M differentiation, rationality, & sadomasochism. Hegel's analysis
of dependency in a master-slave relationship is a primary theme. D. Dunseath

Abstract: An examination of the treatment of "alternative" forms of sexual desire,
particularly homosexual desire, by Sigmund Freud & Michel Foucault. Of interest are
the attempts made by Foucault, in his treatment of sadomasochism (SM) to
desexualize erotic pleasure, & Freud's treatment of the ego & mastery as central to the
development of sexual pleasure. It is proposed that SM does present some potential to
represent alternative forms of desire, particularly through its construction of pain as a
lack of self-control. Psychoanalysis embraces masochism as both a metaphor & a
pleasurable form of power inversion. This has particular relevance for gay desire, in
that it proposes an alternative to heterosexual visions of erotic power by disrupting
the bounded ego & the disciplinary constraints of identity/identification. 22

Twentieth-Century United States." Indiana University, Bloomington, UMI Dissertation

Abstract: Today, distinctively stylized representations of fetishistic and
sadomasochistic sexuality are commonplace in popular culture and fashion. This
dissertation analyzes the historical development of modern fetishistic sadomasochism
(SM) as a cultural style, and examines how this style was introduced into popular
culture.
Drawing from a rich array of archival and primary source material, this analysis
locates the origin of modern SM and fetishistic styles in early twentieth-century
practitioner networks in Europe, Australia, and the United States. Modern SM styles
are distinguished from their nineteenth-century antecedents, and three distinct,

Abstract: A review of the literature for explanations of sadomasochism, particularly
the two prevalent views, psychodynamic & behavioral, shows that precise definitions
& empirical data are lacking. Several avenues of investigation are proposed to increase
knowledge & understanding of this subject. 34 References.
Presents an overview of the psychodynamic and behavioral perspectives on the
etiology of sadism and masochism. It is argued that psychodynamic theorists have
been too broad in their identification of causal factors, and behavioral theorists have
oversimplified the phenomenon, often confounding it with other behavior patterns
(e.g., fetishism). Researchers are encouraged to build a solid base of empirical data
and use precise definitions to remove sources of confusion regarding differences

Females in the Sadomasochistic Subculture: Report of an Empirical Study." Archives

Abstract: Tested the theoretical and clinical assumption that females do not exist in
the sadomasochistic (SM) subculture, or exist in such small numbers as to make
analysis impossible, through responses from questionnaires placed in 2 publications
that cater to sadomasochists and additional questionnaires mailed to advertisers
whose ads appeared in a sadomasochistic contact magazine. Of 182 individuals who
responded, 130 were males, and 52 were females, indicating a meaningful female
presence in the subculture. An analysis of the replies of the 120 males and 40 females
who were not prostitutes revealed similarities and differences between the male and
female respondents with regard to several factors, including demographics, visibility,
age of 1st interest, means of 1st exposure, number of partners, frequency of SM sexual
activity, SM role preference, level of commitment to SM subculture, self-acceptance,
and preferences of SM sexual practices. (24 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

completed questionnaires assessing demographic and behavioral information,
including age and manner of first sadomasochism (S&M) interest, openness with
others concerning those interests, self-image and adjustment, sexual behavior, and
sex-role orientation. Similarities and differences between the groups are reported and
compared to earlier findings. Issues concerning the categorization of the respondents
into appropriate S&M sex-role types are also discussed. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all

Abstract: Discusses reproductive rights, lesbian feminism, and sadomasochism to
show the problematic aspects of anchoring feminist discourse in the language of
control and sexuality. It is suggested that any theory bent solely on exposing the
brutalities of social relations will be blinded to life's rich and varied textures and will
necessarily produce a weak vision. The present author promotes a contextual
feminism that is grounded in the conflicts and joys of women's lives and that seeks
political strategies that are responsive to visions. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

Institution - describes how the bar developed as a place for the homosexual subculture
to meet, & explains that the larger a particular city, the more differentiated the bars
will be, thereby meeting all of the specialized behaviors in the homosexual
communities; similarly, a particular kind of homosexual behavior (eg,
sadomasochism) is suppressed in small towns because there is not enough demand to
establish meeting places for this population; Barry D. Adam - The Construction of a

Abstract: Recently, feminism & the women's movement have been criticized for
neglecting to talk specifically about sex, about what it is that "turns you on." One of
the groups trying to bring the subject into open discussion is SAMOIS, a support group
for lesbian feminist sadomasochists in San Francisco, Calif. SAMOIS members have
been accused of antifeminism because they dramatize power relations in their sexual
practices. Their replies to the criticisms tend to be couched in terms of justifying
minority sexual practices, invoking oppression of gays, rather than attempting to
situate sadomasochism as a sexual practice for women living under patriarchal
capitalist relations. The practice of consensual sadomasochism can elicit reactions
very high on both pro & con sides, as is reflected by accusations that lesbian feminist
sadomasochists are not contesting the structures of desire but merely aping the
pattern of sexual relations under the patriarchy & counteraccusations of repression &
censorship. These positions are examined here, as well as the implications the debate
has for feminism, & for attempts to sort out women's sexualities. It is argued that
sexual practices must not be assumed to be equivalent to personal identity, &
essentialist arguments (eg, that certain practices are inherently gender-related)
obstruct understanding. The choice to practice sadomasochism is not based on
arbitrary factors, but it cannot be considered either feminist or antifeminist. An
understanding of the mechanics of sexuality, why individuals adopt certain sexual
practices, is necessary to arrive at true freedom of choice. 25 References.

Abstract: It is argued that US cinema &, to a lesser extent, contemporary literature
have become the media through which the sadomasochistic imagination is exercised:
the commercial success of such films & books is a consequence of their ability to
evoke a forbidden pleasure in victims' pain. Citing film maker Martin Scorsese's work
& Bret Easton Ellis's novel American Psycho as examples, it is maintained that,
because postindustrial urban life is filled with intense perceptual stimuli (eg, the
constant threat of crime), film compensates by creating products that surpass
everyday life in terms of excitement, violence, & sexual explicitness. It is argued that
movie producers & writers create their nihilistic & violent products as a reflection of
their own alienation.

Abstract: Administered the Personal Attributes Questionnaire to 30 male dominants,
30 female dominants, 30 male submissives, and 30 female submissives, all self-
identified as heterosexual. Median ages were 39 yrs for males and 31 yrs for females.
An interaction between sexual status and gender was significant using femininity as
the dependent variable, and approached significance with masculinity as the

Algophiler Milieus." Soziale Welt 46(2):138-53.
Abstract: Using an instance from a sadomasochistic social gathering, recurrent
situations & forms of algophillic sexuality are discussed, including a description of the
distribution of roles. Irving Goffman's concept of action (1971) shows that
relationships of sadomasochistic violence have a play structure characterized by
ritual. Through hermeneutic analysis, the practice of role playing requires previous
agreement, but leaves many opportunities for representation of the individual &
problems for the actors. Ritualization becomes production, given the original roles of
master & slave, which must be reconstructed with each new situation. The success of
an algophillic social gathering is based on the discipline of its actors. 40 References.

Literature 17(1 (April)):16-25.
Abstract: Examines how consent, pleasure, & victimization are interwoven in the
traditional account of sadomasochism & shows how this account is misapplied to the
problem of battering women. Theoretical explanations of sadomasochism offered by
Sigmund Freud & Jean Paul Sartre are discussed in terms of their exclusive focus on
the male subject & their assumption of normal assignment of active & passive roles. It
is argued that their focus erases the problem of consent & results in a female victim.
By bringing the male subject & the question of consent to the foreground, Gilles
Deleuze (1989) shows how sadism & masochism are distinct phenomena. Deleuze
helps explain that battered women are not masochists because their victimization is
without their consent. S. Davies

Abstract: A further contribution to a discussion of the compatibility of sadomasochism
with feminist principles. Melinda Vadas (see abstract in SA 43:6) rejects the claim (see
SA 42:6/9413118) that there are morally relevant differences between simulations of
unjust events & actual unjust events on the grounds that the connection between
simulations & that which they simulate is overlooked. It is argued here that this
purported moral connection can only be understood as either the result of a necessary
psychological disposition or as a "magical," metaphysical attachment, neither of which
is defensible or satisfactory. 3 References. Adapted from the source document

Abstract: Investigated the monthly magazine of a sadomasochism (SM) club as a
means of describing important issues for club members. A descriptive content analysis
was performed on 47 issues of the club's magazine, published between October 1983
and January 1988, and the results were combined with the findings of a December
1987 magazine readership survey completed by 44% of the 812 dues-paying club
members. Nonparticipant observations of club programs are also reported. The results
indicate that the magazine's space is filled by 7 subject categories: SM media reviews,
SM poetry, SM issues, SM "how to," SM photography, fantasy and real SM stories, and
organizational reports. The magazine seems to be a source for understanding the
activities of group members. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Abstract: To expand the understanding of male homosexual attraction, homosexual
written graffiti (N = 406) from 2 men's restrooms was analyzed. 83% of the graffiti had
contact-seeking content. The most frequently desired object traits were male genital
traits, which comprised 36% of all desired traits. In sexual exchange, the most
frequently desired behaviors were oral and anal behaviors, while sadomasochism
comprised 13% of all desired behaviors. Most contact-seeking messages that did state a
role preference, expressed that Ss desired a submissive recipient role in a sexual
exchange. The submissive-recipient role was most markedly desired in
sadomasochism, which supports those findings that have found homosexual
masochists to outnumber homosexual sadists. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

Abstract: "The gay SM ... subculture is considered an extreme test case of the risks
encountered in casual sex with strangers. The experiences of 35 gay male
practitioners of SM sex show a relatively low rate of fright and injury arising from
casual sexual encounters where one man has allowed himself to become prisioner of
another. ... The dramaturgical sociology of Erving Goffman is used to explain SM as an
alternative sexual lifestyle. SM is considered a significant form of recreational sex
with implications for a social analysis of the intersection of sex and power in North
American society." Originally published in Alternate Lifestyles. 1979. v. 2, n. 1, p. 69-

Abstract: Survey data obtained from a sample of 45 women in the sadomasochistic
(S/M) subculture of whom 34 were determined to be nonprostitutes are compared with
results on a similar sample obtained by N. Breslow et al (see SA 34:2/86Q5884).
Despite methodological differences, the joint impact of the 2 samples indicates a
sufficient number of women in the S/M subculture to study. Both studies reveal that
the women became aware of their orientation as young adults & most are satisfied
with it. They tend to be better educated & less often married but a substantial
minority are bisexual. They tend to prefer the submissive role but preference for the
dominant role or no preference are found with considerable frequency. Oral sex &
bondage are favored activities, behaviors involving excretory processes were least
liked. 4 Tables, 9 References. Adapted from the source document.

Abstract: Examines the relationship between lesbian sadomasochism (SM) as an
emergent discourse & the community/subculture in which it surfaced via its
representation in erotic fiction & texts with more incidental erotic content whose
readership is drawn from a lesbian mainstream. It is argued that the increasing
acceptability & impact of lesbian SM on lesbian culture in general is formative of
lesbian experience & self-definitions. The transgressive nature of lesbian SM & its
therapeutic value are challenged, while an increasing sexual frankness & analytical
complexity are regarded as a direct benefit of the debates around SM. 34 References.

Abstract: Argues that sadomasochism (S/M), with its emphasis on costume & scene,
performs social power as scripted. Richard von Krafft-Ebing's (1965) concepts of
sadism & masochism are critically evaluated, & it is noted that the most common
service paid for by men in heterosexual S/M is the display of submission. Various
fetishes associated with the S/M culture are discussed, ways in which consensual S/M
challenges the liberal discourse on consent are examined, & S/M is theorized as a
"theater of social risk" in which mundane objects often become eroticized. It is
concluded that the extreme libertarian argument that S/M never involves real anger or
hate is incorrect insofar as intense emotional states are an integral part of the S/M
experience.

Abstract: Argues that South Africa is one of the most violent nations on earth. Not
only are South Africans constantly confronted with an array of the violent images that
are the standard fare in the media landscape of the post-industrial world, all South
Africans have to live with the knowledge that they could at any time and in any place
be the victims of violent abuse. In short, South Africans are traumatized by the
ubiquitous violence in their society. And the extent of this trauma can be mapped
onto class, race, and gender. In more recent years, the boundaries of normal sexual
activity seem to have blurred, and acts that were previously considered perverse or
bizarre have become acceptable to the point where even family newspapers on Sunday
carry contact advertisements for encounters of discipline and bondage. Extensive
empirical studies are needed to explain the status of sadomasochism in South Africa.

knowledge of S/M sexuality (and the ability to separate myths about S/M from facts),
therapists cannot provide their S/M practicing clients optimal care. Literature from a
sexological and S/M community perspective is recommended for those professionals
who wish to expand their knowledge of this constellation of erotic practices and the
issues with which its practitioners might commonly deal. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all

heterosexual male and gay male participants were about equal. A semi-structured
questionnaire containing items related to social, sexual, and psychological aspects of
the participants' lives was used. The results showed that the participants were socially
well-adjusted and that sadomasochistic behavior was mainly a facilitative aspect of
their sexual lives, most participants being flexible in both sexual activities and
sadomasochistic role-taking. Sadists were more likely to be younger and more sexually
active than masochists.

Human Sciences Press.
Call Number: Kinsey 539 S29s2 1982
Abstract: (from the jacket) Aspects of sadomasochism are explored from three distinct
vantage points in this volume. First, there is an extensive critical overview of the
etiology of the clinical syndrome that singles out specific parent-child interactions
responsible for its causation. Second, the author presents a sociological perspective
tracing the sadomasochistic elements existing in all basic interactions between men
and women and argues compellingly that sexism is ultimately an expression of a
sadomasochistic arrangement between the sexes. Finally, a detailed and specific
treatment plan is offered. Richly illustrated with four case histories, this plan
integrates the developmental phases of normal infancy with specific phases of the
therapeutic process. /// Comprehensive in scope, the book systematically examines
sadomasochism as: a clinical entity, a sexual perversion, a socially sanctioned aspect
of male-female relations, and as the basic element in all pornography, ancient puberty
rites, and couvade. The clinical section views the life history of the sadomasochistic
patient, symptomatology, transference, and countertransference; and it presents a
unique step-by-step treatment guide, based on developmental stages, and geared to
the pre-oedipal origins of this syndrome. Four extensive case histories demonstrate
the entire therapeutic process from initial interview to termination. An outstanding
and important resource for mental health professionals, the book will serve as an
excellent text for courses in psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, and human
sexuality and sex roles.

Abstract: Three kinds of homosexual subcultural organization are discussed in relation
to sadomasochism (S&M), based on histories gathered from interviews with 66 M
homosexual sadomasochists. A "closet culture" is described as the perpetuated norms
that govern homosexuality among non-gay-identified men. "Camp culture" is discussed
as the first visible subculture of organized homosexuality, characterized by its

Abstract: Offers a social constructionist perspective on concepts of sexual deviance &
sexual perversions. Deviance is conceptualized as a problem of control, perversion a
problem of desire. These are related to larger sexual & nonsexual discursive practices
of society, & given to change as these contextualizing practices change. Changing
conceptions regarding masturbation, homosexuality, pedophilia, & sadomasochism
are examined. 52 References. Adapted from the source document

Abstract: Discusses the social construction of deviant sexualities, sexual perversions,
and sexual desires in general. Sexual deviance is interpreted as the inappropriate or
flawed performance of conventionally understood sexual practices. Perversions are
defined as disorders of sexual desire. It is demonstrated that the contextual
embeddedness of all varieties of sexuality can lead to the normalization of desires and
practices (e.g., homosexuality and masturbation) that were once considered perverse.
However, pedophilia and sadomasochism continue to be labeled as perverse. (English

Sadomasochism." Association Paper (Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP).
Abstract: The "sexual problem" of sadomasochism (SM) perceived by clinicians & widely
accepted by the general public is outlined. Basically, SM is seen as a pathological symptom
of some underlying personality problem. This model is criticized as being overgeneralized,
atomistic, & essentialist. Presented is an alternative sociological conception that
emphasizes the social processes involved in SM & the meanings they sustain. This
conception is grounded as a set of second order contracts based on a close examination of
the most typical SM participants & how they use the term to organize & make sense of
their sexual behavior. The social processes constituting SM are dominance & submission,
role playing, consensuality, & mutual definition. Each of these is shown to sustain a
particular class of exotic fantasies that generate a distinct form of sexual arousal.
266. ———. 1984. "The Social Constituents of Sadomasochism." Social Problems 31(4):379-89.
Abstract: "Traditional conceptions of sasomasochism are misleading. This is because they
are not based on close examination of what the majority of SM participants actually do. ...
We found that sadomasochism was constituted by five social features: dominance and
submission, role playing, consensuality, a sexual context, and mutual definition. These
features formed the basis for the interpretation of behaviors and experiences as SM by
participants. This focus permits a sociological model of the phenomena that avoids the
limitations of more traditional conceptions. 30 references"

Abstract: In the last several years, a new body of sociological literature on sadomasochism
(SM) has begun to appear. The perspective of this corpus of work is quite different from
that of more traditional approaches. Although differing within its own discipline in
theoretical orientation & research methods, the sociological approach nevertheless shares
a common ground: the idea that SM is dependent on meanings that are culturally
produced, learned, & reinforced in SM subcultures. The most important sociological
contributions to the SM literature in terms of temporal priority, theoretical issues raised,
& implications for larger issues are reviewed, definitional problems in the study of SM are
discussed, & suggestions are made for future research. 36 References. Modified HA

sociological & social psychological study of sadomasochism, eg, pain, dominance,
submission, limits, fantasy, control, & identity. The current state of knowledge is assessed,
& promising avenues for further research are identified. It is concluded that individual
interests become institutionalized into sadomasochistic subcultures when (1) dominance-
submission relationships are embedded in culture, (2) a well-developed & unequal
distribution of power exists, (3) sufficent affluence is enjoyed by at least some segments of
the population, & (4) fantasy play is encouraged. 44 References. M. Maguire

Abstract: Sociologists have only touched upon the sociology of sadomasochism, leaving
investigation of this behavior to psychiatrists who chose to view it in terms of individual
"illness." Sadomasochistic (S&M) behavior occurs in subcultures which exhibit all of the
signs & attributes of other subcultures. There is a special language associated with S&M
activities; this language & its shorthand forms are apparent in S&M publications. Since
S&M behavior is labeled as deviant in America, contacts between members of the S&M
world are made surreptitiously. Once such contacts are made, private fantasies are acted
out. These fantasies are not self-produced, but are also the product of American popular
culture since movies, books, & other mass media frequently teach an interest in
sadomasochism. The subculture itself provides fantasies for its members.

Abstract: Briefly reports on a recently-completed two-year German research project
into the culture of sadomasochism (SM), utilizing the analytic concepts of ritual,
lifeworld, & subculture. The study was explorative-descriptive in nature & used a
multimethod research design of primarily qualitative instruments, including problem-
centered interviews, group discussions, observation, & content analysis. The
communication forms & cultural meanings of SM rituals, issues of aggression &
control, & relationships & networks within the scene are covered. It is argued that SM
rituals encompass will & lack of will, rage & fear, revulsion & pain, power &
powerlessness, shame & shamelessness, & pride & humility, all in combination with
eroticism & sexuality. Comparisons are made to violence ritualized in sports (eg,
boxing) & everyday violence. Self-thematization, meanings of the body, & identity
segmentation are also mentioned. E. Blackwell

OF THE AMERICAN PSYCHOANALYTIC ASSOCIATION 39(2):417-30.
Abstract: Proposes the defense against recall of a painful affect as a significant element
in the complex entity of neurotic sadomasochism and symptom formation. This
formulation requires that the fantasy of reversibility be analyzed in the transference.
The powerful resistance to this work has the regressive, anal nature of reversibility.
The perceived threat of loss may be understood as related to early object loss and is
associated with a flawed body image. Because the formative circumstances lie deep
within the patient's past, reconstruction is the only means of resolution. Because it
requires the relinquishment of the sustaining illusions of the sadomasochistic
structure, the process will be experienced as intensely narcissistically dangerous. The
analyses of 2 adult women illustrate the thesis. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

Abstract: Explores the complexity of sadomasochism. The lack of a unitary set of
conditions and explanations raises the question of whether sadomasochism may be
viewed as a unitary concept or whether it is 2 organically connected phenomena that
are different. Another question about sadism and masochism concerns the nature of
the goal; neither a primary goal of pain nor of pleasure provides an understanding of
the still unknown factors that lead to pleasure in pain. Developmental considerations
are discussed as well as the connection between sadomasochism and narcissism and
the role of sadomasochistic fantasy in the psychoanalytic understanding of
sadomasochism. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Abstract: Summarizes viewpoints on the perversions, all of which are seen as
developing against an anal sadomasochistic backdrop. Their aim is to destroy reality.
Reality, from a psychosexual perspective, may be defined as resulting from the
existence of the father separating the mother and the child. This leads to the idea that
the destruction of reality is equivalent to destruction of the paternal universe. Clinical
case illustrations are provided, one of which centers on the assassination of an old
man who, besides representing a paternal oedipal image, also represents reality. This
case illustrates the murder of the father, and hence of reality, accomplished by the
pervert when he eradicates the paternal dimension of psychosexuality by regressing to
the anal sadomasochistic dimension. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Abstract: Comments on M. J. Bader's (see PA, Vol 80:34313) article on
sadomasochism (SM), noting that Bader's understanding of how SM may benefit
women is an important contribution but that his treatment of male experience is
oddly truncated. While Bader construes men's guilt as a problem also solved by SM, he
says little about its object-relational dynamics. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

PracticeNew Haven, CT: Yale University Press.
Abstract: (from the introduction) This book comprises four sections. The first, "The
Perversions: Definitions and Overviews," focuses primarily on those syndromes that
are full-blown perversions in the traditional sense. /// In Part II, "Applications: The
Perversions of Everyday Clinical Practice," the focus shifts from description and
definition to treatment. Here, several highly experienced and articulate clinicians
demonstrate from varying theoretical points of view the ways in which perverse
fantasies and behaviors underlie, overlap, interrelate with, and sometimes obfuscate
other important elements in the character structures and transferences of their
everyday patients. Their various approaches to the ubiquity of such phenomena nicely
illustrate the changes and expansion of theoretical views in recent years. /// Part III is
entitled "Wider Applications: Women, Couples, and Psychoanalysts." Although the
reader will find much here that is clinically relevant, the focus enlarges beyond the
patient in therapy. /// The final part of the book is entitled "Cultural and Literary
Issues." Both authors adapt a broad cultural perspective to demonstrate that the issues
analysts struggle with in their work with perverse patients resonate profoundly with
universal human needs, fears, and tasks as revealed through a study of literature. /// As
the reader will see from this volume, there is much that is new in the world and also
much that is new in psychoanalysis since Freud and classical ego psychology.
Especially in the past thirty years, valuable theoretical breakthroughs have added
considerably to analysts' ability to understand and treat their patients, breakthroughs
that take into account not only new perspectives on character and pathology but also

Abstract: Reports on 6 patients who use sadomasochism as a defense against an
unconscious wish and fear of merging. The sadomasochism can be expressed as a
sexual perversion or in a difficult ungratifying interpersonal relationship. These
relationships have some of the quality of addictions in that the patients have a
compulsive need to continue them and find it extremely difficult to leave them.
Therapy must focus on helping the patient become more separate, rather than on
other problems that may also be present. Initially, the therapist needs to take an
educational stance in regard to the process the patient must complete, rather than the
more traditional analytic stance. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Psychoanalyse:-Zeitschrift-Fuer-Klinische-Theorie-and-Praxis. 12(3):242-58.
Abstract: Discusses a psychopathology whose sufferers are all-too- lightly
characterized as "typical female masochists." These patients are entrenched in what
are for them unbearable relationship structures, in which they are physically and/or
psychologically abused: yet, they decompensate suicidally if the relationship is
terminated by the abusive partner. A similar reaction often occurs in the analytic
relationship whenever the analyst manages to deal with his/her patient's
sadomasochistic relationship. Faced with the prospect of separating from his/her
partner, the patient stages a scenario of "the weak and helpless psychotherapist," then
threatens to break off treatment. The complicated and seemingly contradictory
connection between suicidality and the sadomasochistic relationship arrangement is
illustrated with a detailed case study and 2 brief clinical vignettes. (English abstract)

AMERICAN PSYCHOANALYTIC ASSOCIATION 39(2):333-62.
Abstract: Sadomasochism, an ingredient of infantile sexuality, is an essential part of
normal sexual functioning and love relations, and of the very nature of sexual
excitement. Sadomasochistic elements are also present in all sexual perversions.
Sadomasochism starts out as the potential for erotic masochism in both sexes, and
represents a very early capacity to link aggression with the libidinal elements of sexual
excitement. Sexual excitement may be considered a basic affect that overcomes
primitive splitting of love and hatred. Erotic desire is a more mature form of sexual
excitement. Psychoanalytic exploration makes it possible to uncover the unconscious
components of sexual excitement: wishes for symbiotic fusion and for aggressive
penetration and intermingling; bisexual identifications; the desire to transgress oedipal
prohibitions and the secretiveness of the primal scene, and to violate the boundaries
of a teasing and withholding object. The relation between these wishes and the
development of erotic idealization processes in both sexes is explored in the context of
a critical review of the pertinent psychoanalytic literature.

Abstract: Discusses Freud's theory of primary erogenous masochism as it has
developed over 80 yrs. Links between sadism and masochism are considered. The
development of eros allows the binding of the death instinct at a later time in
development. A primordial autoerotic sadomasochism results in the development of
sensoriality from sensuality. Counterinvestment in the face of pain suggests an
explanation for the fact that displeasure may be exciting. In this apparent paradox,
identification plays a large role. For some hypertrophied noninhibited drives trauma is
a necessary result. Freud's theory of libidinal stages is linked with types of erogenous
masochism associated with each stage. A specific displeasurable affect becomes
exciting in each case and can be related to specific clinical structures. (English &

Abstract: This second paper extends the discussion of the previous analysis of the
dynamic principle in psychoanalysis exclusive of considerations of drive-derivation.
Basic motivational principles are extrapolated to include considerations of the nature
of motivation, particularly focusing on the distinction of causality vs. motivation--
motivation is attributed to complex configurations of internal and external stimulus
conditions giving rise to eliciting circumstances acting in the order of intention and
purpose, while causality deals with execution as a function of the action of the self-as-
agent. Topics discussed include wish-fulfillment, unconscious wishes, wish vs. will,
desire, desire vs. drive, motives vs. affects, motivational schemata, sexual desire and
sexual drive, sexual excitement, sadomasochism, implications for interpretation, and
the variety of motives involved in transference vs. alliance. The discussion concludes
with a reformulation of the classic dynamic viewpoint as one of the essential
metapsychological assumptions. ((c) 1999 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)(journal

Abstract: (from the introduction) This book discusses sadomasochism in ordinary and
everyday life. The author surveys ways in which bureaucracies, family relations,
school rooms, and friendships are permeated with sadomasochistic rituals that aim to
maintain a balance between the forces of love and hate. The author also explores
masochism in culture and familial, political, and social trends that reveal not so much
basic motives as deferred effects. The pathologic manifestations of this universal
theme in what clinicians call "masochistic" or "self-defeating personality disorders" and
"sadomasochistic perversions" are surveyed. The author examines sadomasochistic
themes in sexual identity and gender relations, explains how treatment works, and
explores ways to help take responsibility for our community.

denied. All these psychic operations involve erotic arousal and sado-masochistic
pleasure. (English & Spanish abstracts) (0 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

if properly understood, could be changed to help women prevent or at least reduce
their own victimization."

Abstract: (from the preface) Throughout the years, those suffering from pedophilia,
voyeurism, sadomasochism, fetishism, transvestitism, transsexualism, and many other
forms of sexual deviation, sought my psychoanalytic help. A record of these
experiences is found within these pages. /// I believe that the theories and detailed
clinical findings in this book can find ready application to all cases of sexual
perversion and improve our understanding of each condition. /// Until the present
time, there has been no systematic or unifying textbook under single authorship
devoted entirely to the integration of the multiple facets of these disorders, as exists
for the transference neuroses, psychoses, borderline conditions, and narcissistic
personality disorders. This book attempts to remedy this condition. /// It is my
intention in this book to lead the reader to a sharing of my clinical experience and the
evolution of my theoretical formulations in the area of sexual perversions, applying
them to old and new cases. . . . I suggest a preoedipal nuclear core origin for all
perversions, delineate a unitary theory (Socarides, 1979a), provide a "psychoanalytic"
classification (Socarides, 1978a) into which specific perversions and their various
forms may be placed, explore the crucial importance of aggression, anxiety, and
depression in perversion, describe the meaning and content of perverse dreams,
provide clinical illustrations and an example of the meaning and function of each
perversion, as well as define therapeutic methods employed for their alleviation. My
unitary theory of preoedipal causation expands our understanding and knowledge,
integrates earlier clinical and theoretical concepts with new information, promotes
further research, and I trust, will lead to improvements in treatment. ((c) 1997

Abstract: Focuses on and seeks to clarify a formerly disregarded aspect of the second
drive theory, the organism's primary tendencies toward tension increase and tension
decrease. A better fit between theory and clinical observation is possible if Thanatos is
differentiated from destructiveness, hate, sadism, and masochism. The life and death
instincts are physical forces. The drives (e.g., love, hate) are mental reactions to the
physical forces and not equivalent to them. Eros and Thatanos alternate, mix, and
fuse, participating in every human action. Aggression is defined as any act leading to
tension decrease and libido as negative quantities that build up greater tension. The
implications of this interpretation of the second drive theory are discussed in relation
to sadism, masochism, hate, and depression; clinical applications are included.

Plenum Press.
Abstract: (from the jacket) A preeminent psychoanalyst explores the world of
consensual S & M [sadism and masochism]. An expert on the dynamics of perversion
and erotic excitement, Dr. Stoller sets out on an expedition to the S & M community
of West Hollywood. We meet the highly articulate Ron, who serves as a guide to the
fetishes and bizarre practices of both casual and devoted proponents of
sadomasochism. We are introduced to Marilyn and Claudelle, two warmly opinionated
entrepreneurs of a B & D (bondage and discipline) establishment. The arcane business
of S & M videos is documented by Merlin, an enthusiastic producer of pornography.
Most interesting are Dr. Stoller's provocative questions to these denizens of the S & M
world and his engaging musings on their answers. /// Like an anthropologist in New
Guinea, Dr. Stoller observes the customs of these natives. He studies them in his quest
for insight into the perplexing question of why some people associate pain and
humiliation with intense erotic desire. Thus his journey is not only external, but
internal--into the meaning and boundaries of the term perversion and its place within
the psyche. He investigates how the theater of the imagination is moved into the real
world's reverberating complexity. In the course of this journey, Dr. Stoller changes his
views, first referring to these S & M practitioners as specimens and then perceiving
them, in their ambiguities and contradictions, as human beings. By joining Dr. Stoller,
we find not only nuances in the meanings of consensual sadomasochism but larger
implications of what being human means. 306pp.

Abstract: Explores several pathways along which masochistic and sadistic activity may
be called into the service of the narcissistic function of restoring and sustaining the
cohesiveness, stability, and positive affective coloring of a precarious, threatened,

structural deficiency and consequent narcissistic vulnerability of the individual will
determine the motivational priority of the narcissistic function in his sado-masochistic
formations, as well as the extent to which his narcissistic restorative efforts are
primitively instinctualized. (56 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Abstract: (from the preface) The description of nonsexual behaviors as masochistic is
based on argument by analogy, and yet analogies cannot be made effectively if the
core phenomenon is misunderstood. Accordingly, this book focuses on understanding
sexual masochism, and nonsexual analogs are postponed to the final chapters. /// This
book explains my work on masochism. The escape from self hypothesis is emphasized,
and the construction of meaning hypothesis is also covered. Given my background in
empirical research, I felt it necessary not only to propose theories but to examine all
possible sources of evidence about them. This book integrates past research evidence,
current findings, cross-cultural and historical comparisons, and some original data on
the masochistic imagination as evidenced in anonymous scripts of fantasies and
favorite experiences written by a large sample of masochists (and some of their
partners). /// The book's style and presentation are a product of the attempt to reach
several different audiences. I am a research psychologist myself, and one primary
audience is my professional colleagues, especially those interested in self and identity,
in paradoxical behavior patterns, and in the construction of meaning. I hoped to have
something to offer to researchers and counselors concerned with human sexuality, for
masochism has been one of the biggest puzzles in that area. Clinical psychologists
have struggled for decades with various aspects of masochism (defined in various
ways), and I hoped that my elucidation of the core phenomena of masochism would
be useful to them. Students in each of these areas should also find the book accessible.
/// Past psychological works have generally taken a dismal or alarmist view of the
masochist, probably unfairly, and this work represents an effort to understand
masochism on the basis of common principles in the behavior of normal people.

and Humiliation in Sex." Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology 16(2):133-50.
Abstract: Masochism involves the desire for and enjoyment of sexual experiences
involving pain, loss of control, and humiliation. This article presents a theoretical view
of masochism that makes no assumptions of psychopathology but instead relies on
standard theories of social psychology. Empirical findings about masochism are
reviewed, and an integrative theory is proposed based on the notion that masochism
fosters an escape from the stressful awareness of one's ordinary identity. The special
and stressful nature of modern Western selfhood is burdensome, and masochistic sex
play is one way people seek to relieve that stress by accomplishing a temporary escape
from their normal identity. The cultural, historical, and socioeconomic patterns of
masochism support the idea that masochism is linked to the overgrown selfhood of
modern Western society. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved

certain sadomasochistic phenomena / using a self-psychological framework, I have
developed a theoretical perspective in which trust betrayal is viewed as fundamental
to trauma / from this perspective, sadomasochistic fantasies and their enactment may
be understood as the means by which some trauma survivors attempt to "rescript"
their trauma scenarios / conclude with a clinical example of a young woman involved
in the "leather community" of sexual sadomasochism

Abstract: 72 university students completed an anonymous sexual-behavior
questionnaire at their leisure and returned it in a sealed envelope. A wide range of
sexual behaviors and fantasies were reported including oral-genital sex, genital sex,
homosexuality, bondage, sadomasochism, partialism, incest, pederasty, oralism,
scatological acts, number of sexual partners, and premarital intercourse. The resulting
data are presented in tabular form and compared with earlier national data sets. It is
noted that strong measures of association emerged in a positive direction between
socioeconomic status and participation in (and/or approval of) "deviant" sexual
behaviors. (4 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Abstract: Introductory paragraph: "People do not always avoid punishment and seek
rewards; at time, they act in a self-punitive fashion. They choose to suffer. This
research examined factors leading normal individuals to engage in aversive tasks. By
delineating these variables and experimentally creating them in the laboratory
(thereby inducing masochistic behavior), a greater understanding of this phenomenon
has been achieved. Further, it suggests a process whereby normal people are
vulnerable to responding 'deviantly'."

Abstract: In an extension of previous study (C. C. Gosselin and G. D. Wilson, 1980),
examined personality characteristics of 87 women who use sadomasochism (SM) in
their sexual life and 50 control Ss who prefer a more conventional sexual lifestyle.
Data from the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, a modified version of the Wilson
Sexual Fantasy Questionnaire (see PA, Vol 76:10662), and demographic
questionnaires confirmed previous findings that SM Ss were more extraverted, stable,
lower in neuroticism, and higher in psychoticism than controls. While generally more
sexually active both in fantasy and behavior, SM females are neither lesbians nor
despisers of men; rather, they participate with their partners in sexual rituals that
they merely find mutually pleasurable. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Abstract: "A sexual sadist was treated by an olfactory aversion procedure for eight
weeks. Pre-treatment assessment of sexual arousal showed high levels of response to
sadistic stmuli as well as high arousal to non-sadistic heterosexual stimuli. In
treatment the inhalation of the gas of an odoriferous chemical agent, valeric acid, was
paired with slide presentations of sadistic materials while penile erection was
montored. The aversive stimulus immediately and permanently suppressd the
response for the duration of treatment. In separate measurement sessions, with
valeric acid absent, eviant response remained suppressd and nondeviant response was
unaffected. Post-treatment reassesment revealed very low levels of response to
sadistic stimuli. Follow up session showed that the deviant response was absent eight
months following the conclusion of treatment."

Abstract: In 1986, the U.S. Commission on pornography reviewed 3,050 separate
magazine and book titles sold in "adults only" pornographic outlets randomly selected
in Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; Miami, FL; Philadelphia, PA; New York, NY; and
Boston, MA. Of these, 746 titles could be assigned to a DSM III-R paraphilia category
(513 titles if the category partialism is excluded). Incest was listed as a category
separately from pedophilia. Thus, 16.8 percent of the titles could be assigned to a
paraphilia category (24.4% of all titles, if partialism is included as a category).
Paraphilia distribution is discussed. Sadomasochism was by far the most common
paraphilia (49.9%) while incest titles comprised 21.4 percent of the perversions. The
frequency distribution for the U.S. material is compared with titles reviewed by the
Victoria (Australia) State Classification of Publications Board and previously reported
by the author.

Abstract: Measured the penile tumescence of 20 heterosexual rapists (mean age 28.6
yrs), 10 non-sex-offenders (mean age 25.8 yrs) from the same psychiatric institution,
and 10 males (mean age 24.6 yrs) with low SES recruited from the local community as
they listened to audiotaped narrations. Story categories of the tapes were as follows:
female victim and/or partner (neutral situation, consenting sex, rape, nonsexual
violence, consenting bondage and spanking, masochistic bondage and spanking, and
nonconsenting bondage and spanking) and male victim and/or partner (neutral
situation, consenting sex, rape, and nonsexual violence). Results show no differences
between the non-sex-offender group and control Ss. Rapists showed more sexual
arousal to rape descriptions and less to consenting sex stories than control Ss; rapists
were sexually aroused by stories involving nonsexual violence with female but not
male victims. (13 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Abstract: Some theoretical & clinical features of masochism are reviewed from an
eclectic perspective. The historical development of the term & some of the
psychoanalytic conceptualizations are presented. Discussion is developed employing--
more extensively than does psychoanalytic theory--the interpersonal, social, learning
theory, & biological perspectives. A survey of clinical usage found that therapists apply
the concept in different ways & at different levels of psychological functioning.
Masochism is thus defined as an absence of that behavior normally expected in
response to aversive events. The broadening of the term thus increases the number of
possible 'masochistic' mechanisms & opens new perspectives to exploration &
understanding of this psychological phenomenon. 2 Tables.

Behavior. 2nd ed.Springfield, Il: Charles C Thomas Publisher.
Abstract: (from the preface) The purpose of this book is to examine various types of
anti-social behaviors that are sexually motivated or that have distinct sexual
dynamics. The authors conceive of such sexually motivated anti-social behavior as
falling on a hypothetical spectrum. On one end are the socially tolerated acts that
society may condone, in general, however, reluctantly; on the opposite end of the
spectrum are the rare and bizarre behaviors with which most psychiatrists and
psychologists have little contact, even those professionals with extensive forensic
experience. In between these 2 poles are various sexually-motivated offenses not
tolerated by society and for which there are laws prohibiting such conduct.
(from the foreword) This book should appeal not only to all mental health
professionals, but also to attorneys, judges, correctional and law enforcement officers
and to the intellectually curious individuals who wish to know more about the rare,
the unusual, and the bizarre.
